Bergamot is mainly grown in southern Italy, in Calabria. 

Its flesh is too acidic and too bitter to be eaten raw. 

In reality, what makes this citrus fruit so rich is its unique scent. 

This is the reason why almost all of the fruits harvested, from November to February, are used for the production of essential oil.  How do you use bergamot?  Very present in perfumery and cosmetics, we also find bergamot in cooking.
